a type of physicalism that denies the existence of a separate, nonphysical mind and discards all language that refers to mental events

An approach to understanding the mind in which it is claimed that terms like `beliefs' and `intentions' belong to an outmoded `folk-psychology' and are not capable of scientific justification. See also Functionalism, Intentional System/Intentional Stance, Materialism.

The view that it is likely that beliefs, desires, and sensations do not exist.
